Polite Requests: "ik wil graag" and "mag ik"
Ordering politely
In Dutch, you make requests polite by adding graag (gladly) or using mag ik (may I):
- Ik wil graag een koffie. (I would like a coffee.)
- Mag ik een thee? (May I have a tea?)
- Kan ik een biertje krijgen? (Can I get a beer?)
Tip: "Ik wil..." without "graag" sounds demanding. Always add "graag" or "alstublieft"!
Asking for things
- Mag ik...? — May I...? (Polite)
- Kan ik...? — Can I...? (Neutral)
- Ik wil graag... — I would like... (Polite)

Ordering drinks (no plural!)
When ordering, Dutch often skips the plural:
- Twee koffie (not ~~twee koffies~~)
- Drie thee (not ~~drie theeën~~)
- Twee bier (not ~~twee bieren~~)
